Quality Queries & Powerful Proposals: What Do Agents and Publishers REALLY Want?
Saturday, April 26, 2014
10:30 am to 1:00 p.m.
In this interactive seminar, we’ll look at why a great query and proposal are crucial for any author who’s seeking a traditional publishing deal — and almost as important for authors who want to self-publish.
We’ll focus on:
- Queries and proposals: where the creative and business aspects of publishing meet
- How to think like an agent
- Are proposals necessary for fiction?
- Using queries and proposals to enhance your creative process
- Why queries and proposals are important even if you want to self-publish
